The vertex-form equation is
y = a(x+1)² -16
Putting in the y-intercept values, we have
-15 = a(0+1)² -16
1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . add 16
Then the x-intercepts can be found where y=0.
0 = (x+1)² -16
16 = (x+1)²
±4 = x+1
x = -1 ± 4 = {-5, 3}
y = a(x+1)² -16
Putting in the y-intercept values, we have
-15 = a(0+1)² -16
1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . add 16
Then the x-intercepts can be found where y=0.
0 = (x+1)² -16
16 = (x+1)²
±4 = x+1
x = -1 ± 4 = {-5, 3}
Attached is the solution.
